Sorry to hear about your accident Mike.
I broke my left hand in 4 places and my right arm was shattered, last year when I was knocked off my bike.
My hand was K-wired in those 4 places and fortunately I now have almost full movement. My forefinger is still a little buggered and I'll never get the full range of movement back in the knuckle but I can now use it enough to be able to grip the bar and use the clutch.
As for my right arm, that's another story. It's still broken :eek and I'm going to have to have more surgery to get full movement back, but hopefully I'll get there and be riding again.
All I can say to you is, follow what your physio and the surgeon says. Do the exercises, and push through the pain. It'll be worth it in the end, and if you tell them that your goal is to ride again then they'll try their best to help you achieve it I'm sure.
Good luck mate, and a speedy recovery. :thumbup
